The new hardware upgrade allows owners of WERSI Louvre organs (EA3 - 2011 - 2015 builds) can now upgrade to the new OAX1000 standard. Louvre owners save thousands and thousands by upgrading their existing Louvre organ to the new Sonic OAX1000. Below are some of the features of the incredible new organ from WERSI.

Please note the cost of the upgrade includes instrument pickup, transport to the German factory, labour, parts and delivery back to your home. A detailed specification is listed at the bottom.

The WERSI Sonic OAX1000 Upgrade is the latest WERSI organ from the new OpenArt-eXtended series. Featuring the new Sonic operating system, sound and accompaniment library, the high end features will ensure that you'll be making amazing music in your home for years to come.

WERSI moves the bar of what is technically possible within a hardware instrument to previously unknown heights! The new Sonic OAX1000 brings a new OpenArt-eXtended generation to the world!

Building on the success of the past 13 years with the OAS range, WERSI has created a new concept full of innovation and musical highlights! WERSI is a world leader in Sound Design and software development. Through the use of the latest technology and the results of years of research and development, the Sonic is the pinnacle of instrument design and playability!

New Audio Styles! (Expanding on the Realdrum concept with higher quality audio, new expertly developed tempo variaiton control, and professional mastering by high end studio engineers in Cologne, Germany!)

Intelligent Sonic Memory (The Sonic remembers your favourite sounds and presents them to you at the top of any lists that you desire and makes Sound / Accompaniment selection easier than ever before!)

In addition to the new multi touch display in contemporary modern DVD 16:9 format, a highly optimized audio system in studio quality and the most powerful currently available PC system as well as a completely renewed software (New OAS) structure with VST 3.0 integration... the way forward for even more new and future possibilities is now standard once again! Forget all other keyboards and organs. The Sonic offers musical arranger power beyond all else that is on the market!

DYNAMIC MANUALS

The WERSI Sonic features two high end beautiful OAS keyboards. The Upper and Solo Manuals are of a standard 5 octave arrangement and the Lower Manual is of a 76 note manual configuration. This can be played like a real piano. The new Grand Piano Samples are inclusive of the most expressive dynamic layer sounds and go far beyond what WERSI has produced in the past. Whether you enjoy the full nuances of the Grand Piano or the Acoustic Nylon Guitar, the Sonic OAS keyboard manuals allow you to truly play in the most expressive way!

NEW SOUNDS

The WERSI Sonic Sound Library is incredibly beautiful in terms of the actual Sound Quality and detail and make up of the individual sounds! New Guitars, beautiful new dynamic violins, cellos, panflutes, synths and orchestral and brass sounds are just a few of the new sounds on offer in the Sonic. Of course the legacy library of OAS sounds is standard too, so any sound that you loved from the past decade is also included!

The new sounds must be heard to be believed! They have been created with loving care and expert precision from world acclaimed producers and sound designers across Europe!

NEW SOUNDS FOR THE ACCOMPANIMENT

The Sonic goes much further than offering a new sound library for just the keyboard manuals. You also have access to a new library of accompaniment sounds that have been created for the most fantastic sound! Furthermore, these exclusive sounds have been perfected with insert effects for even greater sound satisfaction!

NEW ACCOMPANIMENTS

When the Sonic was created, WERSI wanted to bring a new generation of new and fresh styles to the world. Naturally some of the best of the OpenArt-Arranger styles have been included, but a whole new Accompaniment library has been created for the Sonic. The Sonic features a new OpenArt-Arranger (Accompaniment Editor) with new functionality and Style options.

4 Variations, 4 x Fills, 2 x Breaks and 3 x Intro / Endings are standard for the Sonic with real Rhythm Controls on the left hand of the console.

AUDIO STYLES

WERSI first revealed their Realdrum system to the world in 2001. Since then, the format was only updated in 2006 with the introduction of the OpenArt-Arranger. Now, while other manufacturers are introducing Audio Styles that are only of the quality that WERSI introduced a decade ago, the new Sonic has an all new Audio Style system that has no rival!

We make this bold claim because it's true. The development masters at WERSI have created a Real Audio Style format that means that the Audio doesn't end at the end of a bar. For example, if your Style is 8 bars long and features a cymbal crash on the last beat of the last bar, old Realdrums would stop the loop at the end of the bar count. The new WERSI Audio Style format allows the audio to play on! This means that real Cymbals and Drum sounds are captured in their full and detailed length!

No other keyboard or software offers this detail of realism! Furthermore, you can also combine Audio Styles with standard styles for even more sound possibilities!

The new Audio Styles have been created by the best drummers and musicians / studio producers. Using an 11 drum mic setup (Near field mics and stereo room mics were all used), the drums were then mastered by top producers for the most incredible results. The new accompaniments have been programmed by world leading style programmers who have a history with the big japanese keyboard manufacturers as well as professional recording studios! The new generation of Audio Styles include Ballad, Rock, Latin, BigBand, Swing Pop, Dance, Techno, World Styles and more!

If you decide that you want to explore all of the options of the WERSI Sonic, then simply switch to the Expert Mode! Unlike any other instrument, you can grow with your instrument!
